"My wife and I came in here for a few Friday night drinks before going to the Indian restaurant nearby. It was busy when we arrived at around 6.45pm, which was a good sign. Before we ordered our drinks, we looked around to see where we could find somewhere to sit. All was fine until we entered the room at the back (where the darts board is) and were immediately greeted by hostile stares from a group of men sitting at the back of the room. It was like something out of a sinister film; clearly this was an area for regulars only and they didn’t take kindly to us. Understandably, we elected not to sit there and instead took the one free table in the adjacent room, ordered our first drink and got on with our evening. All was well until about an hour later when our conversation was rudely interrupted by the sudden arrival at our table of a man (tall, dark haired,in his late 30s/early 40s, wearing work trousers with holster pockets), who leant over my wife and asked her aggressively “have you got a problem with my girlfriend? She says you have looked at her twice in a snobby way”. Both she and I informed the guy that we had no idea what he was talking about (which is true). The man said “well she doesn’t lie”, before returning to join his group in the room at the back. Thereafter, several of his mates came in to the room to have a look at us, presumably checking that 15 or so blokes had the ability to overcome a man and woman, both in their 50s, if it came to it. Understandably, my wife and I were both shocked and stunned at such behaviour and we decided to leave immediately. For the avoidance of doubt, we are not snobs, we did nothing to offend anyone and we regularly visit pubs of varying shapes and sizes, both locally and in other areas of the country. We remain gobsmacked that establishments like this one actually exist in this day and age and that Fullers want anything to do with it. Shameful."
